Shot on Gold (Play-By-Play, #14)

by Jaci Burton

In the new Play-by-Play novel by the New York Times bestselling author of The Final Score, opposites attract when a figure skater and hockey player lace up their skates--and go for the gold...

Will "Mad Dog" Madigan is making his second trip to the Winter Games, and he couldn't be happier. Hockey is his life and playing for the U.S. team is a privilege. Then he meets U.S. figure skater Amber Sloane. She's beautiful, ambitious and driven--everything Will desires in a woman. He would love to show Amber how hot life off the ice can be.

Amber has skated her entire life, sacrificing everything in the hopes of one day winning gold. Now she's competing for the third and final time. She intends to win, and nothing's going to get in her way--until she meets Will. He's an irresistible charmer, and before long Amber is wondering if this sexy hockey player is the perfect guy to show her some moves outside the rink.

But after all the medals have been awarded, Will and Amber will have to decide if what they have together is just a fling or a real shot at true love.

Another enjoyable sports romance from Jaci Burton. It wasn't my favorite book in the series but it was still a sweet romance. Will and Amber were a great couple and I enjoyed getting to know them but there was something missing to make me completely love this book. The dialogue was a bit on the cheesy side (a lot of these athletes were such sweethearts to each other, everyone was amazing and supportive and just not that believable, that kind of thing) but aside from that, this was still a solid romance. I liked the Olympics background and setting, that was fun and I liked hearing about other characters from this series.
